The spring flowers are always so welcome after a cold bleak winter, and the one standout I have always loved is the daffodil with its happy color and lovely scent, but then I love all flowers as they wax and wane through the seasons. The daffodils blooming across the road from the Pentagon after 9/11 brought those of us who were there us so much hope and promise in the year following the tragedy.

My favorite garden plant is lamium. It has purple, pink or white flowers that appear from early spring until late fall, lovely colored leaves, and is a cheerful thing, growing in pots, as a ground cover, in shady or sunny spots. It's not a show stopper, but more like a faithful old friend, always there when you need a little color!

I love roses the best. I love the smell, the colors, the petals, etc. I have roses planted outside my bedroom window, and the smell of the roses coming through the window on a warm, sunny morning...... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Yikes..I have more than a few favorites (some were mentioned in other comments), but I'll name one of mine, that I didn't see as I was skimming through. I love cosmos. I also love this fabric line and would be thrilled to win. Thank you for the opportunity.
